TATA STEELReutersAn appeals board of the World Trade Organization has ruled that the duties United States levied on Indian steel were in contravention of WTO rules and asked Washington to bring the duties in line with the regulations. The case has been considered one of the most complicated ever handled by the 19-year-old Appellate Body of the WTO.The latest ruling reverses the decision made by a three-member panel in July, noting that US duties had wrongly penalised India for subsidising Tata Steel’s export of its manufactured products.The US imposed duties on Indian steel pipes as a portion of the iron ore used for its manufacture came from India’s top iron ore miner NMDC, a state-run organisation. The company also supplies other private steel manufacturers.US Trade Representative’s office said through a spokesman that it considers the result ‘mixed,’ even as a vast majority of over 80 challenges of India’s appeal had been rejected.It added that the findings help preserve the US ability to address ‘unfair subsidization’ using anti-subsidy tariffs to create a level playing field for American manufacturers and workers.The case was launched in 2012 after the US said that NMDC was selling the ore for less than its worth, terming the move as implicit subsidy for private-sector enterprise.USDC Classification ‘erred’The appeal board noted in its ruling that it found the US Department of Commerce had erred in calling the NMDC a ‘public body,’ under WTO rules. ReutersThe board also noted that the US law was wrong in the way the US International Trade Commission was allowed to assess the impact of dumped and subsidised imports.American Iron and Steel Institute’s president and chief executive, Thomas J. Gibson, said that the WTO ruling had significantly weakened the effectiveness of the US trade law.He said that the ramifications are bound to go beyond the Indian case; adding that the trade body differed with the findings of the trade negotiators and that the ruling affected the domestic industries ability to effectively fight against dumped and subsidized imports.He called the ruling ‘detrimental to steel businesses and workers.’US steel imports stood at about 30% for the month ended.US steel makers United States Steel Corp, JMC Steel Group, Allied Tube and Conduit and Wheatland Tube petitioned the government in 2011 for import relief, leading to the case being filed.read more

COPY LINKAD Loading … OnePlus has become a household name in the smartphone industry. The company has built a reputation in its field by listening to customer feedback and improving products. This has helped the brand grow by leaps and bounds. As it continues to enhance the user experience on its phones, there’s a new feature in the offing that greatly benefits users who spend a lot of time on their phones.At a time when people’s lives revolve around smartphones and screen-time is higher than ever, it is important to practice caution. The shift from OLED to LCD on most premium and mid-range smartphones, as beneficial as it has been, comes with its own setbacks. Since OLED panels use Pulse Width Modulation technique to control backlight brightness, the rapid on and off variations at low levels causes the screen to flicker.As a result, screen flickering in low-light conditions, which most users might not notice, can cause eye strain. With people spending more time on smartphones, be it for watching movies or playing games, the exposure to the screen flickering at low brightness levels is extremely high. While companies have come up with ways to help users cut down on screen-time by introducing features where users can track and control the amount of time spent on apps, OnePlus has another way to help users. OnePlus 6T displayIBTimes India/Sami KhanOnePlus to the rescue…If excessive smartphone usage is causing health problems like headaches and eye strain, OnePlus is working on a feature that will help users without having them to cut down on essential screen time. The feature is called DC Dimming, which we’ve seen in Black Shark 2 and other brands like Oppo, Meizu and Vivo’s iQOO are planning to offer in future phones. With the help of DC Dimming, OnePlus will counter the effects of PWM.DC Dimming does the job of PWM technique of dimming the OLED panel by adjusting DC current. It is simple and popularly used in offices, homes and retail spaces for dynamic lighting solutions.OnePlus CEO Pete Lau confirmed that OnePlus is working on bringing DC Dimming feature to its phones. Since the feature comes at a cost of quality, the company decided to play safe and offer it as an optional setting under OnePlus Lab or Developer Options in a future update. OnePlus 6T brightness settingIBTimes India/Sami KhanDC Dimming in OnePlus phones is going to be useful for those who prioritise health over display quality. We say so because users will not be able to get the true OLED experience with the feature turned on.Lau did not comment on when users can expect the feature in their phone settings or the phones that will get the optional display setting. But users can expect DC Dimming to be added to the settings in the next software update. Closeread more

Benchmark stock market indices — the BSE Sensex and the NSE Nifty — may react to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s comments on Saturday (December 24) that those who make money from financial markets should pay taxes for nation-building. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd. (MSIL) and ONGC are likely to remain in focus for different reasons.Inaugurating the NISM campus near Mumbai on Saturday, Modi had said, “…those who profit from financial markets must make a fair contribution to nation-building through taxes. For various reasons, the contribution of tax from those who make money on the markets has been low.”This is being interpreted as a possible tax on long-term capital gains (LTCG) that are currently exempt from tax, while short-term capital gains (STCG) attract 15 percent tax. A gain in the context of shares is defined as LTCG if the asset (share) is sold after holding it for more than 12 months.Arun Jaitley, finance minister, has said that the interpretation of PM Modi’s speech is “erroneous”. “PM has made no such statement, directly or indirectly,” the ANI tweeted, quoting Jaitley.The Income Tax Act lays down the provisions governing LTCG for both listed and unlisted shares.”Any capital asset held by the taxpayer for a period of more than 36 months immediately preceding the date of its transfer will be treated as a long-term capital asset. However, in respect of certain assets like shares (equity or preference) which are listed in a recognized stock exchange in India (listing of shares is not mandatory if transfer of such shares took place on or before July 10, 2014), units of equity oriented mutual funds, listed securities like debentures and Government securities, Units of UTI and Zero Coupon Bonds, the period of holding to be considered is 12 months instead of 36 months.””With effect from Assessment Year 2017-18, period of holding to be considered as 24 months instead of 36 months in the case of unlisted shares of a company,” it added.Either the government could introduce LTCG tax in the forthcoming budget (Budget 2017) or re-define the concept of LTCG.ONGC to acquire KG assets for $1.2 billionIn a regulatory filing, state-run explorer Oil and Natural Gas Commission (ONGC) said that it will be acquiring the Krishna-Godavari Basin assets from Gujarat State Petronet Corporation (GSPC) for $1.2 billion.”ONGC Board today (Friday) considered the proposal and approved the acquisition of the entire 80% Participating Interest (PI) of GSPC along with operatorship rights, at a purchase consideration of $ 995.26 million for Deen Dayal West Field in the Block. GSPC has already built significant production facilities like well head platforms, process cum living quarter platform, onshore gas terminal, export pipeline for transporting treated well fluid from process platform to onshore terminal etc.”ONGC shall also pay part consideration of US$ 200 million to GSPC towards future consideration for six discoveries other than Deen Dayal West Field, which will be adjusted upon the valuation of these discoveries subsequent to approval their Field Development Plans by DGH / Management Committee of the Block,” the company informed the BSE.ONGC shares closed at Rs 193 apiece last Friday on the BSE.Maruti Suzuki (MSIL) sends mixed signalsIndia’s largest carmaker MSIL reiterated its full-year volume growth of 10 percent for 2016-17, translating into 1.56-57 million vehicles, despite demonetisation hitting sales in November and keeping December volume growth at an estimated 7 percent.The calendar year 2017 is being viewed by MSIL as the return of high growth, albeit at lower margins, according to a note by brokerage IDBI Capital Markets & Securities.”The company believes it will continue its outperformance vis-à-vis peers on the back of share gains in the lucrative UV segment, expansion of its NEXA reach and new launches in CY17. Discounts for Q3 will be elevated due to the current demonetization effect, with MSIL (as well as other competitors) increasing discounts (by 1.5x-2x) on models such as the Ciaz, Celerio, Swift, EEco, Omni, Alto and Dzire.”MSIL is banking on Ignis and Baleno to drive sales, in addition to facelifts to two other models.”The Ignis is launching in mid-Jan, followed by the Baleno RS in Feb/March. This will be followed by much-needed facelifts to the Swift/Dzire series which is likely to be launched before November 2017. The ramp up of the new plant is expected to be complete by Oct’17,” IDBI Capital Markets further said in its note.The company had sold 1.03 million (10.36 lakh) till November in the current fiscal, marking a growth of 9.1 percent over 9.49 lakh vehicles sold in the corresponding period for 2015-16.MSIL shares closed at Rs 51,93 last Friday on the BSE.read more

Emirates, Turkish Airlines exempted from US laptop ban. AFPEmirates and Turkish Airlines announced on Wednesday that they had won exemption from a US ban on passengers taking laptops and tablet computers on flights from their Dubai and Istanbul hubs.They are the latest carriers after Abu Dhabi’s Etihad to win a reprieve after Washington imposed new rules in March on direct flights from 10 airports in Turkey, the Middle East and North Africa.”The ban on electronic devices has been lifted with immediate effect for flights to destinations in the United States,” an Emirates spokesman told AFP.He said the airline had won the exemption after implementing new security measures demanded by Washington when intelligence officials learnt of efforts by the Islamic State group to produce a bomb that could be hidden inside electronic devices.They required the installation of sophisticated imaging technology for X-ray and ultrasound screening of carry-on devices.All other electronic devices larger than a mobile phone had to be transported only in checked luggage.The laptop ban triggered a fall in demand for Emirates’ US-bound flights and in May the airline reduced services on five of the 12 US airports it serves.Istanbul’s Ataturk International Airport, the only airport in Turkey with direct flights to the United States, introduced the same new screening procedures to earn the country’s flag carrier an exemption.”Dear Passengers, #WelcomeOnBoard to our US-bound flight. Please fasten your seatbelts and enjoy your own electronic devices,” Turkish Airlines said on Twitter late on Tuesday.Its first flight to benefit from the new exemption was its 6.45 am (0345 GMT) service to New York’s John F Kennedy International Airport on Wednesday, the Dogan news agency reported.Etihad was the first airline to meet the new US security requirements, with its exemption starting on Sunday.It earned praise from the US Department of Homeland Security for its swift action.Britain announced a similar ban on personal electronic devices for flights originating from six countries, including Turkey but not the United Arab Emirates.Turkish Airlines chief executive Bilal Eksi said on Wednesday that he expected Britain to lift its ban on the airline’s flights “shortly”.read more

Aung San Suu Kyi and her government are “burying their heads in the sand” over the violence in Rakhine state, Amnesty International said Tuesday, criticising Myanmar’s leader for failing to condemn the army’s alleged abuses in a televised speech.The United Nations, rights groups, and a tide of Rohingya refugees pouring into Bangladesh have accused Myanmar’s military of using bullets and arson to wage an “ethnic cleansing campaign” against the Muslim minority.In her speech Tuesday, Suu Kyi expressed sympathy for the “suffering of all people” swept up in the violence but did not address accusations of ethnic cleansing.She instead said only that anyone guilty of rights abuses would be brought to justice.“Aung San Suu Kyi today demonstrated that she and her government are still burying their heads in the sand over the horrors unfolding in Rakhine State. At times, her speech amounted to little more than a mix of untruths and victim blaming,” Amnesty said.The rights group blasted Suu Kyi for remaining “silent about the role of the security forces”, whom they have accused of being “engaged in a campaign of ethnic cleansing”.The watchdog also criticised Suu Kyi’s call for international observers to visit Myanmar to assess its troubles for themselves, citing her government’s blocking of a UN fact-finding mission to probe alleged army atrocities in Rakhine.“Aung San Suu Kyi’s claims that her government ‘does not fear international scrutiny’ ring hollow… If Myanmar has nothing to hide, it should allow UN investigators into the country, including Rakhine state,” Amnesty said.read more

Hassan Rouhani and Donald TrumpIran’s president poured scorn on Wednesday on US and European discussions over Tehran’s nuclear agreement, and dismissed Donald Trump as a “tradesman” who lacked the qualifications to deal with a complex international pact.Hassan Rouhani spoke after French president Emmanuel Macron flew to Washington to try to persuade Trump not to scrap the 2015 agreement – under which Iran curbed its nuclear program in return for the lifting of sanctions.“They say that with the certain leader of a European country we want to make a decision about a seven-sided agreement,” Rouhani said in a speech broadcast live on state TV.“For what? With what right?” he added.He reserved particular scorn for the US president, who has called the agreement one of the worst deals ever negotiated and has threatened to restore US sanctions next month unless what he sees as severe flaws are fixed.“You don’t have any background in politics. You don’t have any background in law. You don’t have any background on international treaties,” Rouhani said. “How can a tradesman, a merchant, a building constructor, a tower constructor make judgments about international affairs,” he added referring to Trump’s career as a property developer.The other powers that signed the agreement with Iran – Russia, China, Germany, Britain and France – have all said they want to preserve it. Many in the West see it as the best hope of preventing Iran from getting a nuclear bomb and heading off a nuclear arms race in the Middle East.In a bid to salvage the deal while satisfying Trump’s call for tougher action, Macron’s has proposed that the United States and Europe block any Iranian nuclear activity until 2025 and beyond, address Iran’s ballistic missile program and generate conditions for a political solution to contain Iran in Yemen, Syria, Iraq and Lebanon.German chancellor Angela Merkel will hold talks with Trump in Washington later in the week.Senior Iranian officials have said repeatedly that Iran’s ballistic missile program is not up for negotiation.read more

She says right now, organizations like hers are focused on getting more bilingual students in the pipeline to become counselors. As demand for mental health care in Houston has grown over the past year, providers say the lack of bilingual counselors has become more apparent. Share Listenread more
